Reading a movie review

Julia and Julia is a movie I have no interest in seeing, but a friend of mine posted a link to a review with an interesting angle, and I thought Id read it this morning. ( http://www.christandpopculture.com/film/singing-the-im-the-center-of-my-universe-blues/ ) After a few moments, I came to this conclusion.

I want to tell the story of Christ's life, through mine.
I do not want just to see my life, reflected in His.

This life, this "story" - its not about *me*. Its about Him. And the days I am happiest, are the days when I realize the absolute truth of that.
Living up to it - well, thats a lot harder, and if I ever get a handle on it, Ill let you know - but in the meantime, Ill keep trying.
